Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureD
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Cowboys.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Moore at pick 190, a reach of 103 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Leonard steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The veteran additions, Trey Smith chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

If Tyler Warren and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mike Green
Nothing to complain about; Mike Green went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick31 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
They read the board right and Tyler Warren was the payoff at pick No. 31. The roster fit checks out.
Pick53 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They reached into another round for Darien Porter, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick62 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
No edge and no loss on Andrew Mukuba in the 62nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick66 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zy Alexander in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at slot 76 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in the 116th overall pick with a little surplus value in Smael Mondon Jr.. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jack Nelson
They paid sticker price for Jack Nelson in Round 4, Pick 30, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at pick No. 138 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A slide stopped in the 139th pick, with Emery Jones Jr. worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
The board fumbled Riley Leonard all the way to No. 150, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in Round 5, Pick 32 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in slot 172 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Trey Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Moore this early at the Round 6 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick237 Rnd7 Barryn Sorrell
They reached a country mile for Barryn Sorrell at pick 237, and the board is aghast. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
